My gym leader wouldn't represent a type, but he'd represent a theme. He'd represent 'mind games' or tricks/gimmicks. my pokemon would be zoroark(if given trick, would have a choiceband and would be programmed to use trick first turn), malamar (with contrary, superpower,lightscreen, restochesto, night slash (or topsyturvy)), and either aegislash or mawile (mega with focus punch and suckerpunch, substitute and playrough) or a shuckle with powerswap and trick/trickroom (and maybe a red card?, the item that forces the attacker to swap) It would be either a rotation battle, or an inverse battle. the gym would consist of a three seperate puzzles, each containing their own room, the trainers in that room would have types according to the style of the room. The first room would consist of 25(or 16) rotating pathways, each path being 1 tile thick, and up to 3 tiles long, branch up to two extra times (a cross shape, a tetris cross shape, a 'corner' piece, or a straight 1x3 piece) touching the center of any of these paths would cause certain ones (or all of them) to rotate. The trainers in this room would be either electric or steel types (or both). or for simplicity's sake, there would be switches on the sides that you'd have to trigger to rotate specific tiles. Next room would consist of a darkness puzzle, you have to find the path in a room devoid of light, taking a wrong step causes you to fall into the room below, and/or to fight a trainer. Trainers would be darkness type trainers. The last room would make it seem as if you ended up outside, but the door to the gym would be 'locked' you'd have to go find the switch nearby, there would be 'invisible walls' to keep you from venturing too far, the switch would turn off the illusion and reveal that the actual door was right next to the perceived locked door. Psychic type trainers. My guy would open up "Ha ha ha, so you made it! Did you like the puzzles? Which was your favorite? I had lots of fun making them, bumped my head a few times makin- oh, yeah, the gym battle!" and then upon defeat "Looks like you figured it out, here you earned this <hands the Illusion/trick badge>. Now you're ready to go fight the elite four, go throw them for a loop!" After the player leaves the gym entirely, he runs out "Oh, I almost forgot! <hands Trick Room TM>" "If you're ever looking to spice up a battle you should try this out, it will make slow pokemon fast and fast pokemon slow."

For me it'd have to be metroid and fire emblem, with a side of zelda.

If you intend to get a 3DS, I recommend waiting for the new one to come out, there will be one soon with enhanced hardware that will be able to play both the higher end newer games, and the normal ones for 3DS. I've really enjoyed my 3DS so far, in fact it is probably my favorite handheld system I've ever had.

Before I forget, I wanted to ask: How many people actually use the Set battle mode in pokemon reborn? I personally prefer the Set battle style, because i feel it makes the game a bit more realistic with the fights, when you fight actual trainers, you don't get the luxury of being a complete tool and switching into pokemon they can't fight as they send them out, so why should you get that luxury against the gym leaders you know? But then I actually start playing reborn, and let's just say thank god I'm not doing a nuzlocke. But what battle modes does everybody else prefer and why? Also, I'd like to have inverse battles in reborn, i haven't got all the way though, so I'm not aware if it actually has them or not

Oh boy, a lot of interesting people, I'm looking forward to this forum, it isi always a good sign when introductions question sanity in my opinion. I will watch both of those videos later today, and i'm probably going to make a few of the trainer cards. However in the past each forum I have joined died within a year.... But i highly doubt that will happen here, it seems to be lively and thriving. I look forward to getting to know you.

Nice to meet you =D There are also a couple of things I was wondering about, I've noticed that a variety of people have their teams in their signatures, is there a place that generates your team into a signature like that? Also, what are the dots under the profile pictures, for example, I have One, and you have Six? Oh you recognize Sawyer, sweet!

Hello everybody, I'm a bit late with this intro, but better late than never right? I like a wide variety of things, but i have a tendency to gravitate towards certain styles of things. Pokemon Reborn had piqued my interest a while back but i forgot about it before i downloaded it, only coming back to it a few months ago when a guy I had told about it asked how far I was in it. Since then I've installed it and greatly enjoyed it, playing it off and on. My favorite pokemon strategy is offensive, either hyper offensive with speed, or bulky heavy hitters. My favorite type of pokemon seem to be classy and/or cool pokemon, so like ninetales, absol, garchomp, gardevoir, darkrai, etc. I enjoy a good challenge and my thought processes seem to go all over the place, so I might change topics seemingly at random, but they are usually linked i some way or another. I use a few names online, with EtherealDream being my newest name that I enjoy. I have two other alias but they aren't important at the moment so I'll leave them for another time. I'm also a heavy gamer and am into anime and at one point intend to design videogames.
